Tell Interior: Change offensive place names on public lands

U.S. Secretary of Interior Deb Haaland recently banned one particular anti-Indigenous and derogatory term from public lands. The removal of this pervasive term is an important first step towards making public lands welcoming and inclusive to all people. Right now, we have an opportunity to tell Secretary Haaland that we recognize her leadership on this issue and encourage her to keep going. 

Please tell the U.S. The Department of Interior before April 24th that:  

• Changing offensive place names is the right thing to do.  
• The government should take further actions to eliminate other offensive terms from federal public lands.  
• Renaming efforts should honor local Indigenous culture and history.

This map shows all the places that the Department of Interior is renaming—more than 650 geographic features in all. To register a suggestion, please include in your comment the federal ID number associated with the geographic feature you're referring to and one of the five candidate names from the list.
